Ms. Muscles Fitness Blog: Everything You Need to Know About Fish ...

Whole9 has a great little article depicting what to look for in a fish oil supplement.?

"Fish oil is not a magic bullet, but there are an infinite number of well-documented benefits for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions. ?The short answer is that EPA and DHA are specific types of polyunsatured omega-3 fatty acids. ?Your body cannot produce these fatty acids ? you must get them from the food you eat, or via supplementation. ?EPA and DHA are natural anti-inflammatory agents, and as such, play a role in brain health, heart health, protection against cancer, Alzheimer?s and depression, improvement of skin conditions like psoriasis and acne, fetal brain development, inflammatory bowel disorders, and arthritis, to name a few.

Our typical diets are rich in another type of pro-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acid called omega-6. ?When our dietary intake of omega-6?s far exceeds our intake of omega-3?s, our bodies experience a wide range of negative consequences, all with the underlying cause of increased systemic inflammation. ?Minimizing dietary intake of omega-6 fatty acids, and supplementing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, helps to reduce inflammation, and the wide range of downstream effects."

Look for an oil with a high concentration of DHA, this way you'll take fewer pills for the same great effect.?
